The information supplied by fixhepc states that each individual patients medication is tested by MNR a properly acreditied lab, which makes up part of the stated cost. Are these results included with the medication when sent out. I ask this for several reasons
1. It will I think go a long way in reassuring the doctors, hospital departments that are going out on a limb in a climate when the majority are refusing to even monitor treatment let alone write the scripts.
2. Peace of mind for the person taking these medication.
3. This is a service which is being paid for.
This may be the case but I am yet to see it said in any of fixhepc literature.
Regards Angus & thank god for you guys.

Agreed, this could encourage more Drs to get onside re monitoring etc

Hello Angus,

No we don’t currently supply them as individual sheets due to the extra work involved.

I don’t think reassurance is the major issue – pretty much every liver clinic and gastroenterologist in Australia will now have personally seen RVR from generic DAA medications, but still decline to script it.

Medicine is conservative and data does not change that.

For your peace of mind here’s what it looks like in raw form:

YMMV

Thank-you Dr F – Although I’m not sure UK hospitals are as up to date as Australian ones. I shall print out your GP check list, along with the above, It is all most helpful to us on the other side of the world. Maybe I should print a large amount and just post them to UK Drs.

I was provided with a printout of a “Certificate of Analysis” for both drugs.

The Dac came out 99.3% and the Sof was 99.8%
